Their prices are OK

What are you getting from there?

744175 2009-02-02 05:11:00 Some silent Zalman northbridge heatsinks to replace the awfully loud heatsink+fans in some of my Athlon XP systems. (I've used them before)

The fans are starting to spin slower and more loudly, I think they are on the way out...

744177 2009-02-02 08:42:00 No not that one

www.techworld.co.nz
or maybe
www.techworld.co.nz

They seem pretty cheap and I've heard thet they (well the blue one at least) often give better cooling than the stock hs/f...

What I can't understand is why mobo manufacturers have to use tiny heatsinks with tiny screaming loud fans on them when they could just use something like this????

thoughts?

744178 2009-02-02 08:59:00 Those are cheap, are they really that good? Blam (54)
744179 2009-02-02 20:36:00 There are no contact details for them.
There is no info on who they are either.
Can't even find any warranty info.

Therefore I wouldn't go near them.

The problem with those is that most of the time they will stop you from being able to use a slot on the mainboard if the card happens to sit over the top of the northbridge.
That's why they sometimes use fans to keep it low-profile.

Google 'nb47j review'

So it sounds like I should avoid techworld.co.nz as they have no contact info apart from email. I'll find somewhere else.
